Group 7-day waking average?

Ahh! It seems that my Health centre is triaging all calls for app. to see GP’s. I just got a prescription for antibiotics for my ear infection last time without seeing a doctor! The practice has expanded a lot in the last few years!

I will be referred to pyshio & a GP may call me back around 10am after checking with the doctor at the Causeway hospital on Sat. if necessary & not to worry about it if I don’t get a call!

So, more paracetamol to get through the day today then! :(

Hope the paracetamol helps keep things under control @Lanny 🙂 Be careful not to take too much, and also watch out for any other medications you might be using that contain paracetamol.

Thanks, @Northerner! I was thinking that myself & know there’s a maximum of 8 500mg tabs in 24 hours! No other meds with paracetamol!

I will test & keep upping insulin as necessary: I need the insulin I need! I will wait to see if I get a call back & call my DSN later!
 
Bit late reporting today, had to see the doctor for a double appointment to give me a neurological workover. That was fun. Noted the leg muscle wasting, absent ankle jerks that I’ve known about for about 18 months, increased muscle tone and reduced knee jerks. Interestingly, he couldn’t get a plantar response either up or down. “I must be dead, then” said I. “Nah,” he said, “I once worked in Nottingham with the neurologist to the royal family. He said the only way to get a plantar response is with the keys of your Bentley”.

There you are, the only evidence that neurologists can have a sense of humour.

So anyway, a referral to Liverpool. At least I’ll get there quicker than I did when I was exploring hospitals in greater Glasgow and Paisley.

By the way, this morning’s BG was 7.8. That’ll teach me not to make my own curries. At least with Patak’s you can read the carbs on the label. Too much tomato and tomato purée randomly squirted in is my guess. Not the end of the world, though🙂

I was using leftover roast pork, so maybe the gods were against an accurate bolus.:confused:

Glad you’re on an easier route to the tertiary services now Mike.

We went to a fantastic bbq yesterday. Tomahawk steaks that looked like something out of the Flintstones!
So much meat I was more at risk of distemper than hyperglycemia! :D
 
I read something in the Guardian this morning (so it must be true) that eating loads of meat like that changes your gut biome, and can cause mayhem with your health...
...or was this an attempt at anti homeopathy? :D

That horse has already bolted Mike...or was it a herd of cattle! :D

I did however eat lots of salad and olives with it plus beetroot and coleslaw and I didn’t drink alcohol. I’m so virtuous! 😛
 
05:39 BS 9.7! Triple Pooh, Pants & Rats!!! I thought I’d gotten my insulin doses right yesterday by keeping all my readings within target ranges, albeit higher, & went to bed on 7.4. With 30 units of Levemir & 30 units, in total, of Novorapid: 13 total units is my normal doses.

I think the Novorapid doses are ok & it’s the Levemir I need to increase: to 32 units?

Oops!😳 Sorry about vitriol!

Anyways, wishing you all a wonderful day!🙂

It’s another grey day that’s cooler!
 
Good morning. 9.6 for me. Run out of one of my meds so that won’t help. See patterns emerging for food though. Manage well for weeks then wham, off the rails, get fed up,” Och to hell “. mindset. Right, salad prepped for lunch, wil get there
